iOS Development Techdegree Student 793 Pointswriting a string literal
My String literal should be saying what is asked. Am I Missing something on this exercise?
// Enter your code below let firstValue = 2 let secondValue = 4 let product = firstValue * secondValue let output = "The product of (product) is 8".
// Enter your code below
let firstValue = 2
let secondValue = 4
let product = firstValue * secondValue
let output = "The product of \(product) is 8".

Your string should be formatted like this: "The product of 2 times 4 is 8", where 2, 4, and 8 should be replaced by their respective variables using string interpolation.

iOS Development Techdegree Student 793 PointsHey Logan I think I am getting closer, but for some reason I am off.
// Enter your code below let firstValue = 2 let secondValue = 4 let product = firstValue * secondValue let output = "The product of (firstValue) * (secondValue) is (product)"

let output = "The product of \(firstValue) times \(secondValue) is \(product)"
